Getting PCI DSS Compliance Right: How Identity Management Can Help Secure Information Access

Tags:
security standards

Overview Complying with the requirements of PCI DSS is a top IT priority for many companies today. But focusing strictly on compliance isn't enough for companies that are charged with protecting sensitive data, as suggested by recent well-publicized security breaches. When companies shift the focus instead to building a secure infrastructure, with all the right controls and privileges in place, they create an environment in which security is assured - and compliance will follow. Sun identity and access management software provides key components that organizations need to build such an infrastructure.
